Product Overview

What is Waxy Maize Starch (WMS)?

Waxy maize starch is a complex, long-chain, high molecular weight carbohydrate that is free of sugar and lactose. Our Waxy Maize Starch has a high percentage of Amylopectin (95-99%) and a low percentage of Amylose (1-5%). Amylopectin molecules are larger, heavier and easier for the stomach to digest. Therefore, foods that have little Amylose and lots of Amylopectin are more rapidly digested and absorbed.

What are the Benefits of Waxy Maize Starch (WMS)?

Waxy maize starch has a much higher molecular weight than dextrose and maltodextrin, as a result it therefore passes through the stomach much faster, eliminating the risk of stomach discomfort. Not only this, but WMS acts like a pump, pulling the nutrients along with water into the body tissue at the correct speed and osmolality for your body to fully utilise. This means when consuming WMS there is no stomach cramping and no bloated feeling. Since WMS is absorbed so rapidly it can easily be consumed whenever a fast release of energy is required.

Who is Waxy Maize Starch (WMS) Suitable for?

Waxy maize starch is suitable for almost all individuals including vegetarians and vegans. Ideally, WMS is suitable for those who are physically active and want to increase their energy levels through the intake of complex carbohydrates.

How to take WMS

WMS is soluble in water, mixes best with a shaker but can also be shaken and consumed immediately. It has a neutral taste and is an excellent consumed on its own or when added to formulas such as protein shakes and pre workout drinks.

Does the job

Its a better alternative to other fast carbs like dextrose or Maltodextrin, because you are less likely to put on weight from it. Don't listen those bro-scientists who claim that it is just a corn flour. I have tried both and this is digested much quicker, because it is more processed. Ideal refueling gun for post-workout. It mixes well, you do not even need a shaker, spoon will do. So, if you want to take fast carbs after workout, but not risk putting on fat, than this is the way to go. It is quite expensive, but thing about how much you waste on many useless things. This at least has a purpose.Goes Well With:Whey Protein

This product is absolute crap. It is finely ground corn flour. You would be better off cooking with it. Don't do as I did by trying to save a few quid - go for the real slow release carb option that is Vitargo. Myprotein shame on you for promoting a product as something that is advanced when we can buy simple corn flour in any major supermarket for a fraction of the price. This is about as effective to a sportsman as eating a batch of heavy scones right before a competition. Gut busting.

So far so good

I ordered the Waxy Maize Starch on the advise of my Personal Trainer who uses it.
The product arrived on time and is easy to use and mix with my protein shake. The taste is pretty good too! It's too early to tell the results as I have only been taking it for around a week, however the signs are encouraging.

great products and service

I have been using "Myprotein" products for 4 years now. rotating different products in to help with a variety of different diets both during bulking and cutting cycles. They have a wide range of well engineered supplements and training aids that if you do the correct research can all play an essential role in achieving your training goals. I managed to fumble my way through different products with other supplement companies and reached my target weight of 18 stone by the age of 18. However I was not a very well shaped 18 stone. There was a lot of excess bulk and at the wrong angle you could mistake me for someone who had done very little if any training at all. I had been focused on just bulking and put on a lot of the wrong type of weight. Since using Myprotein supplements and reading up on all the helpful hints and dieting tips they provide on there website I am now 23 years of age and sitting comfortable at 21 stone 2 and have a body fat of just 12%. Thanks a lot to all the staff at Myprotein for all their help and guidance.

Waxy maize

As a long distance cyclist I need to get a burst of energy without stopping and waxy maize mixed in with water and orange squash has been a really good addition to my cycling routine. No need to fiddle with energy bars ( not easy when riding),I can just reach down for my bottle and get the energy I need. Goes Well With:Orange squash!

"Brilliant product, DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS. Mixes well, the texture of the shake tastes weird first time but once you get used to it its actually pretty good, thickens the shake up and dilutes the flavour of whey powders which are otherwise strong. Good source of fast digesting carbs AND SUGAR FREE! GLUTEN FREE! NO ITS NOT LIKE WHITE BREAD. NO GLUTEN. NO DAIRY. NO SUGAR. perfect product. "

"great value for money and yes it doesn't taste the best when drunk on its own but i mix it with my PWO protein and its fine although a little messy to use. i saw somebody has mentioned that it is simply corn flour,which,is true but the price is fine and i am yet to find somewhere who sells corn flour in sacks. In my view this is no more expensive."

Bought some of this and am having problems finding the right ratio of water to powder cos i find it goes really lumpy and you get lumps of powder. Tried drinking it with water and squash and thought it had an alright taste but had a texture like jelly and lumps of pure powder which made it a chore to drink. Any recommendations would appreciate them :)

"Best post-workout carb!! WMS' advance is its big molecular mass, absorbs quicker than other carbs; it restores glycogen stores faster than any other carb. Also it will not make you feel bloated like dextrose does. Because WMS is absorbed so quickly, it helps improve the absorption of other supplements as well."

I bought a 2.5kg bag and I think this stuff is brill! Used it during football and my weights session and its easy to drink and doesn't give you any cramps or pain when you have during a workout; even football or running. No bloating and low GI. When I first got it I thought it tasted weird but I can easily have it on its own because it doesn't taste of much. If you struggle with that just use some flavouring or a drop of Robinsons and your ready to go. Mixes fine. I will certainly buy again.

"It certainly isn't tasteless, i was using malto and whey but bought some more supplements now i'm taking it more seriously and had egg white protein and this in a shake and gagged, obviously i assumed it was the egg white protein that tasted rank but it's actually this. It's also got a horrible chalky texture. As with all most things i'm used to it now but i definitely don't enjoy drinking it."

This is the business! I used to use Maltodextrin post work out but gave this a go after reading up about it. It's twice as much as Maltodextrin but it's even better! Mixes so well and is very light on the stomach! Awesome for post workout recovery!

"I was recommended to try using a carbohydrate shake as I run regularly and reading this found it stated for post workout consumption. I have found taking 50g in 8mls of water just before a run gives a great boost taking away the tired early feelings. I have taken after it blended oats in milk which kicks in nicely after the wma wears off for my longer runs. Over 40mins i have taken wma again to boost and found it works well not giving any signs of bloating. Found it non tasting and as only mixed with a little water easy to swallow, but mixing with ordinary squash adds flavour if required. Certainly helping my pb goals increase so can only recommend. More importantly just enjoy your training :-)"

"This is awesome. The best form of carbs for taking during a workout. \n\nUnlike Maltrodextrine and Dextrose, WMS will not make you bloated. You can still take it pre and post workout. \n\nI never use Maltrodextrine and Dextrose since I found that.\n\nI train MMA and we do a lot of grappling, hence lot of rolling around, this prevent you from puking all your carbs on the mat!"

"I tried a KG because of all the positive replies on here. I read an interesting article online on the actual scientific evidence for WMS, there isn't that much tbh :s I did not get hit with a huge energy burst like many people on here have found. I tried it post workout and also I tried it when playing football at half time. Doesn't seem to bloat at all. The taste is bland, and very grainy, creates a lot of mess because its texture is a lot like talcum powder so be careful when opening and using scoops etc. The aftertaste is strong, its not pleasant but not horrid either."

Started using WMS on recommendation of William Sichel as I've had digestion problems with other carb drinks during my racing. Since I started taking this I have set new PB's and last weekend won the Wales Ultra Running Championship for the first time. Has a chalky taste and you need to shake it well. I use a 6% solution which works for me.(60g to one litre water)

I have been taking this for about 6 months now. It is probably the most effective supplement I have ever used. WMS can be consumed in such large quantities because it does not make you feel sick like taking too much dextrose can. It does not spend much time sitting in the stomach.\nThis is the best stuff out there for taking around your training if you are looking to get bigger and stronger.

I have used this product extensively. It is extremely fast acting and within 30 minutes of consuming your PWO shake you will be pumped full again. I have stomach problems which have not been an issue whilst using this problem
